WSDG | E-STUDIO EVOLUTION | JOHN STORYK & SERGIO MOLHO WEBINAR WSDG 2021-05-18 | One of the earliest and most compelling lessons brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic as the world grappled with long-term work-from-home and remote learning issues was the need for spaces in the home, capable of meeting full-time professional, creative, and educational needs. In this discussion, John Storyk and Sergio Molho will describe how these needs coincided with the “E-Studio” concept – an ‘evolved’ residential environment, designed specifically for these purposes with the requisite acoustic, ergonomic, and technical tools and treatments that WSDG has pioneered across the widely diverse pro audio, educational, and professional content creation fields.

WSDG & AES - THE EVOLUTION OF THE PROJECT/HOME STUDIO - TODAYS E-STUDIO WSDG 2020-11-04 | The project or home studio has been a familiar term for nearly 50 years but what does it mean? The argument can be made that personal studios have always been project intensive. However, a continually evolving generation of smaller, less expensive and more powerful gear, as well as a constantly expanding universe of applied acoustic techniques and materials have totally democratized the field and will continue to do so. Certainly the events of the past year have presented social conditions unlike anything we have previously experienced in our lifetime.
